It is very curious that no legislator nor the executive branch of Florida has raised the issue of federal preemption in regards to the constitutionality of medical marijuana...namely the Compassion Cannabis Use Act of 2014 and the current ballot initiative, Amendment 2. In the US 9th Circuit, from the states of California and Oregon, there are compelling rulings that state the Controlled Substance Act (CSA) of 1970 has jurisdiciton over the cultivation, distribution, possession and use of marijuana. Theres even US Supreme Court case law on this. Additionally, US AG Holder acknowledges that the federal government can sue the state on this issue, but elects not to...see the Ogden Memo. Even in light of this memo, the federal government has prosecuted corporations in the medical marijuana business because of the CSAs authority to do so in spite of the states decriminalization of the same. Discuss!...
